PRIZE PANSIES 
Pansies from Paul J. Howard's Prize strain of 
seed have been sensational wherever shown. The 
huge size and rich colorings of their blossoms 
and the length of their stems have given them 
premier place among Pansies for cut flowers, and 
the vigor of the plants makes them unequalled 
for bedding. Realizing that the best flowers can 
be had only by planting the most carefully se¬ 
lected strains of seed we offer the finest obtain¬ 
able in each of several types. 
PAUL J. HOWARD'S SUPER SWISS GIANTS. 
This is becoming the most popular of all for show 
purposes, for gorgeous beds and for use as cut 
flowers in corsages or bowls. They are of huge 
size, with long stems, and display a range of 
color not found in any other type. This is the 
original true strain, highly improved, not to be 
compared with ordinary "Swiss Giants" usually 
offered. Packet 50c. 
PAUL J. HOWARD'S GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA. 
The size of flowers in this fine strain is equal to 
any produced in Europe; the difference in color¬ 
ings and shape of the flowers in this American 
type distinguishes them from the European. They 
contain a wider range of lighter blues, bronzes, 
yellows and mahogany shades, and the petals are 
more of solid colors, while the Swiss types usually 
have darker center petals, with brighter colored 
borders. Many gardeners and florists prefer the 
American types. Packet 50c.
